Hey man, Mpspace compresses the file to make it of a smaller size, same name but different process. While myspace does make everything sound like crap and I encourage everyone to use Soundclick (sounds sooo much better:)). The pumping is definitly in his Compression technique. I am aware of the differences between data compression and dynamics compression. TBH I did not go his Myspace to listen to his tunes but I know from my own experience that MySpace does "something" to the music. I suspected they boost highs and lows and compress dynamics but I don't know for sure.

Btw, could this "pumping" be because of Myspace? I think it boosts lows, highs and compress everything by default. With regards to the discussion of "where the audio industries go" I can really appreciate what MarkGifford says and I think he makes perfect sense. I do not work as an audio engineer myself though I am trained as one and my experience says that a lot of professions suffer from the same thing. I have a friend who is quite rich. She works occasionaly when she's bored. She recently asked 10 Euros per hour to teach 3D Animation in a private college because she "would like to have the experience" and have a fancy CV. She got hired instantly and even though she's good she didn't get the job because of her skills but because she's cheap. I think this mentality is quite aggresive towards the idustries and we all share the responsibility. It's about awareness and education. If I were a professional audio engineer I would focus on educating my customers and convince them that what they pay worths every cent. sp.
